Exclusive* NARN interview with Scott Walker
posted at 12:31 pm on June 3, 2012 by Ed Morrissey
Allahpundit notes that Governor Scott Walker will make no major media appearances today — but that’s because he made his major media appearance yesterday. (We’re major in the Twin Cities. On Saturdays. Trust us.) Seeing as how Walker will spend his day on the campaign trail rather than in a television studio, I’ve clipped out the 10-minute interview from yesterday’s Northern Alliance Radio Network broadcast on AM 1280 The Patriot. Mitch Berg and I talked with our neighboring state’s chief exec as he toured Hudson, Wisconsin on a busy campaign day:
In other campaign news, voters have returned a large number of absentee ballot requests, hinting at a presidential-election level of turnout, but could also cause a delay in reporting the results:
More than 182,000 Wisconsin residents have requested absentee ballots or have voted early in a local elections office, according to the latest figures from the Government Accountability Board, the state’s elections watchdog. Those are just the numbers GAB can track.
Elections officials expect the number to top 200,000, nearing a record for a statewide election.
City of Madison elections officials had issued 16,145 absentee ballots by late Friday afternoon, with more than 800 stopping into the city clerks’ office to cast an early ballot on the last day.
Typically, most absentee ballots are cast in a clerk’s office, as many as 75 percent, according to the GAB.
It’s that other 25 percent that could decide the political fate of embattled Republican Gov. Scott Walker, his Democratic challenger, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, a lieutenant governor’s race and four state GOP Senate seats.
Absentee ballots, to be valid, must be postmarked by election day. Those ballots will be counted up until the close of the business day next Friday.
If the election is close, as many expect it could be, the straggler votes could turn the outcome.
In 2010, there were 2.132 million votes cast for governor, so this would be close to 10% of that number, and in a special election may well exceed 10% of the final number of votes. I’m not sure who benefits most from absentee balloting. Of late Democrats usually do better in absentee voting, getting union help in organizing that part of the GOTV effort, but Walker raised a huge amount of money and had an organization in the field long before Barrett could start spending money. I’m pretty sure I know who benefits from the requests in Madison, though, and it won’t be Walker.
Barrett may have other problems to deal with today and tomorrow. Yesterday, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel continued its investigation into crime reporting in the city of Milwaukee and the systematic miscoding of crimes that led to an artificial decrease of the violent crime rate under Barrett’s tenure, and it turns out that the city didn’t even code violent assaults on police officers that left them injured as violent crime:
The Milwaukee Police Department misreports aggravated assaults as lesser offenses – sometimes even when its own officers are seriously injured in the line of duty, a Journal Sentinel investigation has found.
In March, an on-duty Milwaukee police officer was attacked and suffered injuries that sent him to the hospital for treatment. Police arrested the perpetrator for felony battery, but reported the incident to the state and FBI as a “simple assault,” which will not be counted in the city’s 2012 violent crime rate.
The same thing happened in an earlier case, from March 2011.
In May, a Journal Sentinel investigation found more than 500 serious assaults that were misclassified by the department as lesser offenses from early 2009 through February. The review identified an additional 800 cases that follow the same pattern but couldn’t be verified with available public records. Copies of those incident reports have been sought from police through an open records request.
An analysis of the department’s recently re leased March crime data found more than 30 additional cases that follow the pattern of underreporting. The new misreported assaults also include felony child abuse cases and misdemeanor battery cases in which victims were threatened or injured with dangerous weapons.
Be sure to read the whole report. The MJS found 160 cases of felony child abuse that were underreported as simple assault, for instance, rendering them in the FBI data as non-violent crimes. It’s highly doubtful that the police themselves were making those decisions, and the large scale of the misreporting strongly suggests a concerted effort to reduce the reported violent crime rate in the city.
* – Exclusive? As far as I know, Walker wasn’t on the phone with anyone else during this interview. That seems to be the threshold these days for “exclusives,” so …

The shame of all of this is the brightest ideas for opposition are standing outside IRS offices with signs on Tuesday (so 2010) and holding hearings in the hope that some evidence of something prosecutable will surface (yawn).

The government can also always find more questions to ask you. Basically the applications of Tea Party groups were stonewalled. No matter how much paperwork people filled out, there’s no way they would get approved before the election.
In fact, I’d be interested in seeing some analysis of that. How many targeted groups received their acceptance or final rejection of non-profit status before the election?

Senior White House staff knew of the ongoing investigation into the IRS’s targeting of conservative groups ahead of the release of a report from a Treasury Department inspector general, White House press secretary Jay Carney said Monday, but held off on informing the president to wait for a final report.

Isn’t profiling a big no-no in this country, the reason TSA has to grope grannies and toddlers far more often — to make sure they’re not targeting Middle Eastern males between the ages of 20 and 35?

No.
Look, the first step is to do what has been effective. What’s been effective? Nobody did a lessons learned after the first TP protests and after the 2010 and 2012 elections.
Politics happens mostly by fear and pain. That’s what the administration is doing: hurting the conservative grassroots, the supporters of the politicians who can defeat him.
Ben Nelson resigned office. How? He was embarrassed while eating a pizza.
Remember Breitbart getting in the face of the OWS crowd telling them to stop raping people?
Why aren’t TP’ers publicizing the pictures and names of the four IRS people named by the reporter at Ohio’s Fox 19?
Why do we need a nonprofit? Just give the money anyway.
What about looking for and exposing the voter fraud that happened in places around the country?
What about creating a talent registry? I have the software for it and I would donate it, but despite emailing Instapundit, the guys here at HA, Glenn Beck, Levin… none of them want to get involved in grassroots organization. Fair enough – but who then?

I don’t know the solution to low level employees willingness to go along with the Leftist agenda f their bosses but it needs to be discussed. The government overwhelmingly attracts Liberals and Democrats to its ranks as conservatives are far more likely to pursue private sector careers. So we wind up with a government of, by, and for the Democrat party. Who watches the watchers?
Big Government can’t help but become politicized when its run by a single political party who regard their opposition as enemies and since they are the state, we become enemies of the state.
The government is like Skynet in that it will destroy everything that opposes it.

Great question. At some point, we might all agree that standing quietly out front with signs, and holding hearings, and whining online simply don’t work anymore.

We can talk all we want, no one up there is listening. Oh sure they bend an ear your way and put on their concerned face, but they aren’t really hearing what you have to say.
In a nation of laws we wouldn’t be worrying about the “timing” and “appearance” of impeachment, we would already have the Dog Eating Retard and his appointees in the dock answering some very pointed questions. We would be granting blanket legal protection to all those underlings who know the important details but who are too frightened to come forward without it.
This is insane, an entire federal government attacking its own citizens.
Bishop on May 20, 2013 at 3:12 PM
It’s becoming obvious that there is more than just an Obama-Enemies list in the IRS. There has to be a Superlist of enemies that is available to key people in EVERY federal department, and that special someone accesses the list and then somehow credibly can task enforcement actions in those groups.
This is not rogue employees, this is a hidden harrassment network that covers the Rat-Eared Bastard’s entire administration.
It’s also likely that this is run by the greedy-unions where the hardest of the hardcore progressives tend to gather.
Investigate the greedy-unions and this hidden network can be revealed.

It is more and more apparent that if you are a Democrat and you have ANY position of power you are going to be a Dem first and an American 2nd. This is a systemic abuse of power all across the Federal system. FBI, ATF, EPA, EEOC, DOJ, IRS….AND CONGRESS, SENATE, AND POTUS. At this point we need to scrutinize anyone with a D after their name or a D on their voter registration record. In other words we need to treat them the way the Obama admin treats us. It’s time for the big guns…maybe literally.
neyney on May 20, 2013 at 3:48 PM
If you are just getting audited & hassled by the IRS then there is a slight chance (in Hades) that it might be a coincidental targeting by ‘low-level rogue IRS agents’….
but when you are being harrassed by the FBI, ATF, OSHA, AND the IRS, it’s got ‘Obama Administration’ , ‘Enemies List’, & ‘Tyranical abuse of government’ all over it!
And the next thing that should be ‘all over’ the Obama administration is ‘IMPEACHMENT‘!

In all seriousness, about the only government entity that strikes more fear in the hearts of parents than the IRS is DYFS or CPS. Those agencies can, and do, take your kids based on nothing more than just what you suggested, an anonymous tip, with little or no actual evidence. And when they do, the burden of proof is entirely on you. You’re guilty until proven guilty. And if they don’t find any evidence the first time around, they can keep going anyway. Meanwhile, your children are buried under a mountain of foster care and red tape.

You are so blind in your loyalty to the GOPe that it is sickening.
Reince and Karl Rove both hate all tea parties, and liken them to the candidates who didn’t win. They despise insurgent candidates like Ted Cruz, Rand and Rubio when they defeat the GOPe’s hand-picked candidates (although Rubio has opened himself to be the Socialist he really is). They label them all as Sharron Angels and Todd Achin’s, and launch PACs designed to see that no insurgent candidate will ever defeat a flawed candidate or a failed congressmen/senator ever again.
I wasted my time campaigning for a sure-fire loser in Romney. I will never do that ever again. And if you consider that playing the victim card, then I kindly ask that you STFU.

You have it ass-backwards.
I supported Perry… then Gingrich.. then voted Santorum in a primary protest against Romney, whom I knew could not win the general since day one of his campaign.
But YOUR kind kept pointing a gun to our head and belittled us into supporting Mitt since 2010. After he lost, YOUR side blamed US for his poor campaign and said publicly that conservatives have no place in the future of the GOP.
Then your side floats strawmen like “low-information voters” – a convenient excuse for the fact that the GOP could not and cannot emit a message that will compel its own base to vote. Romney won a majority of independent voters, but lost to Obama handily.
You sound a lot like a closet Obama voter anyway, so none of what I say will register in you pea-sized mind.
Yep. By getting rid of losers like you. You are part of the problem.
Keep floating those distractions and non sequiters.
The duration of these scandals is not the issue. Your simplistic attitude of hating conservatives will ensure that the GOP will forever remain a minority party. But I guess you want that anyway, because losing is fun for you.
Thank you for finally saying something that makes sense.

Myron Falwell on May 20, 2013 at 8:39 PM
Ever hear of 18 U.S.C. Section 1001? That federal law makes is a crime to lie to federal officials. And “lie” is a very elastic word. Just by even engaging in conversation with the FBI, a person is at severe risk that they could be charged.
Example: The FBI asks them, do you know this person? They answer “No.” Later, it turns out that this woman said hello to the person the FBI is seeking. FBI interprets that as “knowing” the person, since they had met, and hence the prior statement is a lie.
Of course, that’s if you even believe the FBI these days. Do you know that it’s their practice to never record discussions/interrogations with people they’re interviewing? They only take “notes”. That way, the video can’t contradict them when they’re testifying against you in court. For your “lie”.
And as for why the FBI would do this to a person… wake the heck up. This is not the America you knew anymore. And it will probably never be, again.

And now we have numerious branches of the Federal government doing WHAT EVER THE HELL THEY PLEASE. The Manure Spreading Media just sits there and snorts their coke. Just like King Putt.
